Endorsed. Having this mod gives every tier of destruction spell its own niche. Novice spells are cost effective, short ranged attacks. Apprentive spells are single target long ranged attacks. Adept spells are AoE and with this mod Expert spells are more that just less cost effective Apprentice spells. I was using all differnt tiers throughout the endgame as the situation required.
Minor problem though, it was a little confusing having the similarly named Lightning Stream and Lightning Storm spells right next to each other on my favourites list. Even if you don't bring Thunderbolt back as a separate spell, could you rename Lightning Stream, just so it's not as confusing?
if you are using my Flame and Frost VFX Edit, you should load this mod after/replace the files from those mods.
but the files in this mod are in bsa format and that means they will always be overridden by your vfx mods without being given a choice in mod manager edit: opened bsa and looks like you already taken care of everything as there is no conflict so you may want to update description
Not sure if this is intentional but I noticed with True Directional Movement, if you are using the homing spells option, these spells will not home in on targets.
I managed to figure this out in xEdit. Just load up the mod and use "copy as new record into" on the Spell, Magic Effect, and Book that are replacing the originals. Then link the new ones to each other wherever they reference the replacer version. Finally delete out the replacers.
Second this strongly! Some of us are too stupid for xedit, but as awesome as these spells are, I can't go without the hitscan power of thunderbolt, especially in VR.
exactly! the piercing stream spell this author created is magnificent, even more because it is so reminiscent of the electric effect on oblivion, only realistic next gen (actually I was thinking, it there was an electric shout for humans, it could look just like that stream). But thunderbolt, a big actual lightning like the ones that fall from the sky to obliterate trees, that is irreplaceable.
(If you are using my Flame and Frost VFX Edit, you should load this mod after/replace the files from those mods.) soo..i can't use both mods, right? I have to choose between vfx and this mod

this and both VFX mods look even cooler when enemy cast those spells at you
